SLEECQIFIGATION-forming part of LettersrPatent No. 729,974, dateol'J'une2, 1903.

Application filed July 16, 1902l To all whom t may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JAcoB M. STOUDER, a

lcitizen of the United States, residing at Fort Wayne, in the county ofAllen and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Nozzles; and I do declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being-had to the accompanying drawing, and' tothetigures of reference marked thereon, which forms a part of thisspecification.

My invention relates to improvements in nozzles by which water isdischarged in either a spray or a straight stream; and the object of myimprovement is to afford adjusting means whereby t-he Water may bedischarged from the nozzle in a spray or a straight stream or bothsimultaneously.

I accomplish my object by the construction illustrated in theaccompanying drawing,

which is a longitudinall section through the nozzle.

This invention consists of a body l, having z a threaded shank and acentral dischargespout 2, the bore 3 of which extends entirely throughthe nozzle. An adjustable barrel 4 is engaged by means of threads uponthe shank 5 and extends over the spout 2 to a point near the endthereof. A collar 9, having a flaring exterior surface, is mounted uponthe tip end of the spout 2 with its lowermost flaring portionimmediately above the open end of the barrel 4. The said collar isadapted when the barrel is properly adjusted to close or partially closethe end of said barrel. A packing-ring 7 is arranged about the shank 5and within the barrelA 4 to prevent leakage. A three-way valve ll isarranged within the body l and is adapted to be turned therein. Asideport 8 is made in the body and leads from the side of said valve upSerial No.115,749. (No model.)

the spout 2 and Within the barrel 4.

In operation the nozzle is attached to a suitable hose and the valve isturned to direct the iow of water either directly through the bore 3 ofthe spout or into the side port 8, or both, as can obviously be done.The Water lowin g through the barrel is discharged therefrom through theannular opening between the collar 9 and the end of the barrel, thusemitting the water therefrom in a spray, which can be readily varied byadjusting the barrel upon the shank, or the Iiow of water from thebarrel may be checked entirely by closing the opening 10 by the samemeans of adj ustment.

Thus I have provided two separate means of controlling and directing theflow of water.

Having described my invention, what I .said spout; a collar mounted uponthe tip of said spout coincident with the opening at the through theshank 5 and opens to one side of I endof the barrel; a three-way valvearranged in said body communicating with the spout; and a side portcommunicating with the valve and leading into the barrel.

2. A nozzle comprising a body; adischargespout leading therefrom; abarrel mounted upon the body surrounding the spout and having an openingat its end; a three-way valve arranged in the body communicating withthe spout; and a side port communicating with the valve and leading intothe barrel.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
